tion in which it is shown in Figure 4, a hinged prop is provided, and this hinged prop" comprises two members 70 and 72 hingedly connected together as at 74,-the

: member T0 being pivotally connected as at.76

to one of the brackets 38, the member 72 be-' ing pivotally connected; to the base; 10 as 78- As heretofore stated, the; paste receptacle or tank rests upon theupperwrapper of the stack 12-of. wrappers, and to insure proper positioning of the stack. of wrappers-relative tothe dischargeslots of the-paste receptacle or tanlga suitable guide is provided. Oneformpof guide which has been found very effective in actual practice is a ribbed rubber mat, such as designated the referencenumeral 80inthe drawings, and said mat 80 is suitably Secured tothe base 10 preferably with itsribs extending longitudinally of said base. This guide mat 80 is preferably of the same width as the wrappers to be used which width will be notedby reference to Figure 2 is greater than the combined lengtlis'of thedischarge slots 58 of the paste receptacle or tank 50 Thus it will' be seen that if the several wrappers in the stack 12 are .aligi iedwith one another, and the stack 1 positioned .witl 'its sidesin alignment with the side edges of the guide mat 80, the top wrapper vilh, at alltimes, close the ends of discharge slots 58 and prevent leakage. or waste of the; paste therefrom.v

In. usewith the several parts in theposition which they are shown in Figure 1,

themagazine or other article: to be, wrappedw is .placedlupon the top wrapper oft-hestack' 12 of wrappers and thefreeend of the wrap-' per passed around the .s'ame- During the .op- V era'tion of'wrapping' the article, the Wrapper iswithdrawn from beneath the paste re- 1' ceptacle or tank which action'spreadspaste upon that end' of the wrapper occupying a 7 position beneath the paste receptacle or tank. When the wrapper has been completely with draw-n'from beneath the paste-receptacle or r from the stack. When. it is desiredtotlean the paste reto. deposit paste thereon as itis withdrawn tank, the said paste receptacle or tank rests, upon the next-lower wrapper in aposition ceptacle or tank, itais only necessary to dis-j engage the extensions 44 of the rods v.42with their respective lugs 46, remove the rods from the frame, leavingthe paste receptacle or tank fr'eeto be. removed-from the device.

Referring to. Figure-5 of the drawings, it

will be' noted that in. the-folding of the de-. vice into compact form for shipping ,orstoring purposes, thesection 16is. folded into parallelism with the brackets 38 with the 7 section 14 overlying -.thepaste receptacle or tank 50 and the brackets 38 as shown. From the foregoing, it isapparent that the present invention provides means} by which magazines, books or other articles may be more expeditiously wrapped than s pos:

sible by employing the paste-pot and vbrush as in the old method, eliminating all. waste and thus resulting in operatlon.
